Abstract
The diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission, mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a very important probe of the distribution, propagation, and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. In this Letter, we report the measurements of diffuse γ rays from the Galactic plane between 10 TeV and 1 PeV energies, with the square kilometer array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Diffuse emissions from the inner (15°10 TeV). The energy spectrum in the inner Galaxy regions can be described by a power-law function with an index of -2.99±0.04, which is different from the curved spectrum as expected from hadronic interactions between locally measured cosmic rays and the line-of-sight integrated gas content. Furthermore, the measured flux is higher by a factor of ∼3 than the prediction. A similar spectrum with an index of -2.99±0.07 is found in the outer Galaxy region, and the absolute flux for 10≲E≲60 TeV is again higher than the prediction for hadronic cosmic ray interactions. The latitude distributions of the diffuse emission are consistent with the gas distribution, while the longitude distributions show clear deviation from the gas distribution. The LHAASO measurements imply that either additional emission sources exist or cosmic ray intensities have spatial variations.

Abstract
Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have a tera-electron volt (TeV) afterglow, but the early onset of this has not been observed. We report observations with the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory of the bright GRB 221009A, which serendipitously occurred within the instrument field of view. More than 64,000 photons >0.2 TeV were detected within the first 3000 seconds. The TeV flux began several minutes after the GRB trigger, then rose to a peak about 10 seconds later. This was followed by a decay phase, which became more rapid ~650 seconds after the peak. We interpret the emission using a model of a relativistic jet with half-opening angle ~0.8°. This is consistent with the core of a structured jet and could explain the high isotropic energy of this GRB.

Abstract
The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity. γ-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energy γ rays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from 1/2-KM2A and 230 days of data from 3/4-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background after γ/hadron separation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest γ-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass between 10^{5} and 10^{9} GeV. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta (PPARD) is a nuclear receptor transcription factor whose single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), especially PPARD-87 T>C (rs2016520), may play an important role in expression regulation of PPARD. But its expression patterns as well as contribution in colorectal cancer (CRC) are still controversial. In this study, whether the intratumoral heterogeneity of polymorphism of PPARD-87 T>C (rs2016520) existed and its influence in CRC were investigated. Tumor masses from primary CRC patients were collected during the operation of tumorectomy, specimens at the different sites of the same tumor mass were sampled and stored individually. The SNP of PPARD-87 T>C was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and the expression of PPARD in vivo was observed by immunohistochemistry. The correlation of PPARD -87 T>C intratumoral polymorphism and the clinicopathological parameters of patients was analyzed statistically. Tumor samples were collected from 106 CRC patients (70 males and 36 females) with an average age of 61.04±13.67 years. A total number of 808 samples (7.60±1.60 per patient) were mainly harvested at peripheral superficial (n=376), central superficial (n=163), invasive front (n=112) and mesenteric cancer foci (n=42) of tumor tissues as well as cancerous adjacent mucosa (n=104). PCR-RFLP analysis showed that T/T (n=460, 56.9%) and T/C (n=334, 41.3%) were the main genotypes of -87 T>C among these samples. Furthermore, intratumoral genotype of -87 T>C was homogeneous in 90 patients and heterogeneous in other 16 patients. The intratumoral heterogeneity was related to patients' age (P=0.016), tumor location (P=0.011) and the grade of differentiation (P=0.022). For patients with intratumoral heterogeneity, immunochemistry showed the expressions of PPARD were not influenced by T/T or T/C genotypes. Intratumoral heterogeneity of PPARD-87 T>C wildly existed in CRC, and associated with patients' age, tumor location and differentiation. However, the immunochemistry assay revealed that there's no significant link between heterogeneity and expression of PPARD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the MRI manifestation of encephalopathy of prematurity (EOP), so as to find an access to the early prevention, early diagnosis, effective treatment and prognosis. Methods: A total of 2 718 premature infants were collected, MRI and clinical data were analyzed who were admitted to NICU of Children's Hospital of Fudan University between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2014. The manifestation and lesions distribution in MRI were analyzed. Results: All the 2 718 preterm infants underwent MRI. 58.8% (1 599/2 718) of which had normal MRI apperance, whereas 24.9% (678/2 718) showed manifestations of EOP.78.8% (534/678) EOP were non-cystic EOP. 21.2% (144/678) EOP were cystic EOP. Periventricular and cerebral lobe white matter were primary distributions of these lesions. Cystic lesions were primarily distributed in the body of periventricular whiter matter (49.3%). However, more non-cystic EOP were found in cerebral parietal lobe whiter matter (25.1%). Non-cystic EOP were also distributed in the body of periventricular whiter matter, frontal lobe and basal ganglia(20.8%, 20.2% and 18.9%, respectively ). Conclusions: The morbidity rate of EOP in preterm infants was 24.9%. 21.2% (144/678) EOP were cystic EOP. 78.8% (534/678) EOP were non-cystic EOP. Cystic lesions were primarily distributed in the body of periventricular whiter matter. Non-cystic EOP were also distributed in the body of periventricular whiter matter, frontal lobe and basal ganglia.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and genetic characteristics of patients with TBC1D24 gene mutations. Method: The clinical data of a patient with novel TBC1D24 compound heterozygous mutations from Children's Hospital of Fudan University were collected, the related literature was searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, National Center from Biotechnology Information and Pubmed (up to April 2016) by using search terms "TBC1D24" "epilepsy" . The clinical features, electroencephalogram (EEG) and prognosis of the patients with TBC1D24 gene mutations were studied. Result: The patient was a boy with non-consanguineous healthy parents.He had an acute episode of focal continuous myoclonus lasting a few hours with consciousness preserved at the age of 3 months.Myoclonic jerks alternatively affected the eyelids, either the right or left limbs, sometimes triggered by fever or fatigue.The frequency was once 3-7 days.At the age of 6 months he was found to have myoclonus seizures with onset from a unilateral eyes lid and limb lasting 10 more minutes and subsequently affected four extremities or the trunk.They occurred once 3-4 months with perserved consciousness and lasted from several hours to up to ten more hours.They mostly disappeared during sleep.He had ataxia and mild mental retarding.Paroxysmal anomalies were not found on ictal traces.A novel compound heterozygous mutation of TBC1D24 gene, c. 730G>A, p.A244T and c. 1571G>C, p.R524P were found in the patient.Further study showed that c. 730G>A mutation was inherited from his father and c. 1571G>C from his mother. These two were not reported in public databases and predicted deleterious by Mutation Taster and polyphen-2.Literature relevant to TBC1D24 published all around the world was reviewed, no Chinese cases with TBC1D24 gene mutations had been reported. The total of 24 cases including the present case with TBC1D24 gene mutation were reported.Among them, 11 cases had compound heterozygous mutations and 13 cases had homozygous mutations.Ten mutations were identified, including 1 termination mutation, 1 frameshift mutation and 8 missense mutations. Conclusion: TBC1D24 gene mutational analysis should be performed on patients with early-onset focal continuous myoclonus, if the etiology was unclear.

Abstract
Aberrant splicing of the cyclin-dependent kinase-associated phosphatase, KAP, promotes glioblastoma invasion in a Cdc2-dependent manner. However, the mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. Here we show that miR-26a, which is often amplified in glioblastoma, promotes invasion in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-competent and PTEN-deficient glioblastoma cells by directly downregulating KAP expression. Mechanistically, we find that KAP binds and activates ROCK2. Thus, RNA-mediated downregulation of KAP leads to decreased ROCK2 activity and this, in turn, increases Rac1-mediated invasion. In addition, the decrease in KAP expression activates the cyclin-dependent kinase, Cdk2, and this directly promotes invasion by increasing retinoblastoma phosphorylation, E2F-dependent Cdc2 expression and Cdc2-mediated inactivation of the actomyosin inhibitor, caldesmon. Importantly, glioblastoma cell invasion mediated by this pathway can be antagonized by Cdk2/Cdc2 inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Thus, two distinct RNA-based mechanisms activate this novel KAP/ROCK2/Cdk2-dependent invasion pathway in glioblastoma.

Abstract
We performed a systematic investigation on the dynamic behavior of conduction filaments (CFs) in WO₃-x-based devices. It was found that the electric forming produced an electric structure consisted of a conductive channel (virtual cathode) started from cathode and an insulating band surrounding anode. Both the virtual cathode and the insulating region varied with repeated resistance switching. Set/reset operation affected device resistance mainly by modifying the CF, which formed in the setting process together with an insulating halo that separated it from the virtual cathode. The device resistance exhibited a sudden change exactly corresponding to the emergence/vanishing of the CF and a smooth variation corresponding to the outward/inward expansion/contraction of the insulating halo. Anode ablation occurred after repeated cycling, and it is the key factor affecting the endurance of device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Horsefly sting causes allergic reactions in human body. However, our knowledge on horsefly allergens remains poor. OBJECTIVES To identify the novel horsefly allergens and characterize their properties. METHODS A native allergen protein Tab y 1 (apyrase) was purified from the salivary glands of the horsefly Tabanus yao Macquart by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. Its sequence was determined by Edman degradation and cDNA cloning. Its allergenicity was assessed by immunoblotting for specific IgE, basophil activation test, skin prick test (SPT), and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Tab y 1 showed a single diffusion band of 70 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Seventy percent (7/10) of patients with horsefly allergy tested positive to Tab y 1 in SPT; sera from 81% (30/37) of patients reacted to Tab y 1 on western blots. Purified Tab y 1 reduced approximately 42% sera IgE reactivity to horsefly salivary gland extract on a competitive ELISA. Tab y 1 upregulated the expression of CD63 and CCR3 on passively sensitized basophils by up to approximately 4.9-fold. Tab y 1 also showed enzymatic activity to hydrolyze ATP and ADP, and potent antiplatelet aggregation and antithrombotic activities. CONCLUSION The current work identified a novel major allergen of horsefly, Tab y 1, with antiplatelet aggregation and antithrombotic activities, which implicates Tab y 1 in helping horseflies suck host blood, meanwhile causing allergy in their human hosts.

Abstract
Three-dimensional x-ray tomography is performed to investigate the internal structure and its evolution of a crumpled aluminum foil ball. The upper and lower bounds of the internal geometric fractal dimension are determined, which increase with the compression. Contrary to the simulation results, we find that the mass distribution changes from being inhomogeneous to uniform. Corroborated with the evidence from previous experiments, these findings support the physical picture that the elastic property precedes the plastic one at dominating the deformation and mechanical response for all crumpled structures. We show that the interior of a crumpled ball at the plastic regime can be mapped to the compact packing of a granular system.

Abstract
Kruppel-like factors (KLF) and the early growth response factor 2 (EGR2) are important zinc finger transcription factors in vertebrates. We have cloned the full length coding sequence (CDS) of porcine KLF5, KLF7 and EGR2, which are 1374, 909 and 1416 bp, respectively. KLF4, KLF5 and EGR2 were then chromosomally mapped to porcine 1q28-29, 11q13-14 and 14q23-25, respectively. Moreover, the tissue expression patterns of KLF4, KLF5, KLF7 and EGR2 imply their probable roles in specific tissues. This is the first report of the basic study of these zinc finger transcription factors in pigs; this information will be helpful for future functional studies.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) HPV16/18 E6 oncogene in the carcinogenesis of esophageal cell carcinoma (ESCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue microarray (TMA) block was constructed from 60 cases of paraffin-embedded ESCC tissues and pair-matched controls (adjacent normal epithelium). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods were applied to detect the expression of HPV16/18 E6, p53, p21(WAF1), MDM2, Ki67 and cyclin D1 proteins on TMA slides. In situ hybridization (ISH) targeting HPV gene was also used. RESULTS In ESCC samples, 18.3% (11/60) were revealed HPV16/18 E6 positive by IHC, while 40.0% (24/60) HPV positive by ISH; HPV16/18 E6 expression was significantly higher than that of control samples. In ESCC samples, the expressions of p53, p21(WAF1), Cyclin D1, MDM2 and Ki67 were recorded in 60.0% (36/60), 40.0% (24/60), 51.7% (31/60), 65.0% (39/60) and 88.3% (53/60) cases respectively, In ESCC samples, p53, MDM2 and Ki67 expression correlated with the HPV16/18 E6 expression (p less, similar 0.01), p21(WAF1) expression - with these of MDM2 and cyclin D1 (p less, similar 0.01) whilst expression of Ki67 - with ESCC grade (p less, similar 0.01). CONCLUSION HPV might be one of etiological factor of esophageal carcinoma in Shantou, China. p53, MDM2 proteins may play important roles in the pathogenesis of HPV-associated ESCC.

Abstract
The aluminium toxicity is closely related to aluminium species. In this work aluminium was fractionated into seven forms: Al(T), Al(Sus), Al(C + S), Al(S), Al(C), Al(O) and Al(I). Four Al-based coagulants and simulated raw water were used in the laboratory to investigate the aluminium transformation in coagulation, sedimentation and filtration processes. It is the use of Al-based coagulants that contributes more to the increase of the residual aluminium for the low-turbidity raw water, while the Al-based coagulants, especially the polymeric aluminium coagulants, work to remove the aluminium from the high-turbidity raw water. In the case of traditional coagulants, the increase of the turbidity or the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration in the raw water results in a high concentration of Al(C + S). The removal rate of aluminium species in the filtration process is not only related to its size: RAl(Sus) > RAl(C+S), RAl(C) > RAl(S), but also to the physicochemical properties of aluminium species and filter. For the kaolin-polyaluminium chloride system, a lower removal rate of aluminium species results is due to the complexation of humic acid and aluminium species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To our knowledge, the association of the five serotypes of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) to the new diagnostic classification scheme defined by the American Academy of Periodontology in 1999 has not yet been described. The goal of this study was to characterize the frequencies of the five serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans in A. actinomycetemcomitans isolates from various forms of periodontitis using both old and new diagnostic classifications and to determine the relationships between serotype and age and clinical diagnosis. METHODS A total of 345 A. actinomycetemcomitans isolates from 115 A. actinomycetemcomitans culture-positive subjects (mean age 38.0 +/- 18.3 years, 59% female) were collected. Based on the new classifications, 33 subjects had aggressive periodontitis and 82 chronic periodontitis. According to old classifications, there were six prepubertal periodontitis (PPP), 12 localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP), 15 post-localized juvenile periodontitis (PLJP), 28 refractory periodontitis (Ref-P), and 54 adult periodontitis (AP) cases. Serotypes of A. actinomycetemcomitans were determined by an indirect immunofluorescence assay using serotype-specific polyclonal antisera to A. actinomycetemcomitans strains ATCC 29523, ATCC 43728, ATCC 33384, IDH 781 and IDH 1705 (serotype a, b, c, d, and e, respectively). Proportions of serotype b were examined between different diagnostic and age groups with a Z-test for proportions. RESULTS Most subjects (n = 100, 86.96%) were infected with a single serotype (22 serotype a, 44 serotype b, 30 serotype c, 1 serotype d, and 3 serotype e). There were 11 subjects (9.57%) with two serotypes and two subjects (1.74%) with 3 serotypes. Two individuals had isolates lacking any detectable serotype antigen. Serotype b was the predominant serotype in children under 18 years of age and young adults between 19 to 35 years, although serotype b status was not significantly associated with age. Serotypes d and e were not found in patients under 35 years old. In 62 adult patients, one subject had serotype d and three had serotype e. Serotype b was the most common serotype in aggressive periodontitis (60.61%). The proportion of cases with serotype b was significantly higher in aggressive periodontitis compared to chronic periodontitis (P = 0.031). Other serotypes were not significantly associated with new diagnostic categories. Serotypes d and e were not detected in aggressive periodontitis. CONCLUSION The results of this study show that proportions of serotype b of A. actinomycetemcomitans are significantly greater in culture-positive patients with aggressive periodontitis than those with chronic periodontitis.

Abstract
We made a quantitative comparison of the density of macaque corticospinal projections from primary motor cortex (M1) and supplementary motor area (SMA) to spinal motor nuclei supplying hand and finger muscles. We also compared the action of corticospinal outputs from these two areas on 84 upper limb (mostly hand) motoneurones in chloralose-anaesthetised macaques. The hand representations of M1 and SMA were first identified using MRI and intracortical microstimulation. We made focal injections of WGA-HRP into these representations. Densitometric analysis showed that corticospinal projections from M1 were far denser and occupied a much greater proportion of the hand muscle motor nuclei than did SMA projections. Stimulation of M1 and SMA with bipolar intracortical pulses evoked monosynaptic EPSPs. These were significantly larger and more common from M1 (88% of motoneurons) than from SMA (48%). The results demonstrate corticomotoneuronal connections from both M1 and SMA, some converging upon single motoneurons. Both areas give rise to CM projections but that those from M1 are far more numerous and exert stronger excitatory effects than those from the SMA.

Abstract
Ectopic pancreas is rare, being found in between 0.6 % and 15 % at autopsy. Heterotopic pancreas is usually an asymptomatic condition which is found incidentally at surgery or at autopsy. Occasionally, significant symptoms arise from complications, such as recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, biliary or intestinal obstruction, or malignant degeneration. Malignant change is very rare. We report a case of malignant change (adenocarcinoma) in an ectopic pancreas in the stomach. In the literature, there are eight reported cases of malignant change in ectopic gastric pancreas. The prognosis in the other reported cases is unknown, but in our patient, the tumor was confined to the muscle of the stomach and there was no lymph node invasion.

Abstract
The antibacterial effects of various types of widely used endodontic sealers have not been compared systematically on facultative or obligate anaerobic endodontic pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of four commonly used endodontic sealers: two epoxy-resin-based sealers (AH26, AH plus), one zinc-oxide eugenol-based sealer (N2), and one calcium hydroxide-based sealer (Sealapex). The testing microbes were four facultative anaerobic species (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus) and four obligate anaerobic species (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Porphyromonas endodontalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Prevotella intermedia). The freshly mixed sealers were placed into the prepared wells of agar plates inoculated with the test microorganisms. After varying periods of incubation (2 days for facultative anaerobic species and 7 days for obligate anaerobic species), the zones of growth inhibition were observed and measured. All the sealers were distinctly different from each other in their antimicrobial activity. The sealers showed different inhibitory effects depending on the types and bacterial strains. N2 containing formaldehyde and eugenol proved to be the most effective against the microorganisms. The extreme antimicrobial potency of this root canal sealer must be weighted against its pronounced tissue toxic effect.

Abstract
In order to clone candidate tumor suppressor genes whose loss contributes to the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma (NB), we performed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening using a high-density sequence tagged site-content map within a commonly deleted region (chromosome band 1p36) in 24 NB cell lines. We found a approximately 480 kb homozygously deleted region at chromosome band 1p36.2 in one of the 24 NB cell lines, NB-1, and cloned the human homologue (KIF1B-beta) of the mouseKif1B-beta gene in this region. The KIF1B-beta gene had at least 47 exons, all of which had a classic exon-intron boundary structure. Mouse Kif1B is a microtubule-based putative anterograde motor protein for the transport of mitochondria in neural cells. We performed mutational analysis of the KIF1B-beta gene in 23 cell lines using 46 sets of primers and also an allelic imbalance (AI) analysis of KIF1B-beta in 50 fresh NB samples. A missense mutation at codon 1554, GTG (Gly) to ATG (Met), silent mutations at codon 409 (ACG to ACA) and codon 1721 (ACC to ACT), and polymorphisms at codon 170, GAT (Asp) to GAA (Glu), and at codon 1087, TAT (Tyr), to TGT (Cys), were all identified, although their functional significances remain to be determined. The AI for KIF1B-beta was slightly higher (38%) than those for the other two markers (D1S244, D1S1350) (35 and 32%) within the commonly deleted region (1p36). Reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis of the KIF1B-beta gene revealed obvious expression in all NB cell lines except NB-1, although decreased expression of the KIF1B-beta gene was found in a subset of early- and advanced-stage NBs. These results suggest that the KIF1B-beta gene may not be a candidate for tumor suppressor gene of NB.

Abstract
Recent molecular studies have shown a relatively high rate of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in neuroblastoma (NB) as well as other types of tumors in human chromosome band 1p36. To identify candidate tumor suppressor genes in NB, we searched for homozygous deletions in NB cell lines with PCR according to a high-density sequence tagged site (STS)-content map spanning 1p35-36. Among 25 NB cell lines examined, only one cell line, NB-1, showed no signal with 27 STSs in a 480 kb region in 1p36.2. The sequence analysis has revealed that the defective region included seven known genes (E4, KIF1B, SCYA5, PGD, Cortistatin, DFF45, and PEX14), nine expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and two microsatellite markers. These genes are related to apoptosis, an ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, a neuronal microtubule-associated motor molecule, and components of a common translocation machinery. The region between the DFF45 and KIF1B genes was defined as homozygous deletion by Southern blotting. The search in LOH regions with high-density STSs may be useful for the isolation and identification of tumor suppressor genes in other tumors as well as NBs.

Abstract
We previously reported a high incidence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 2q33 in neuroblastoma (NB), observed in various types of human cancers including lung cancer, head and neck cancer and follicular thyroid carcinoma. To better elucidate the role of chromosome 2q aberrations in NB, we examined common allelic imbalance (AI) regions on chromosome 2q in 82 NB patients using 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers. AI on 2q was detected in 26 (32%) of 82 NB cases. There was a distinct common AI region between the D2S115 and D2S307 markers on 2q33. The distance between these markers was about 2.0 cM. Recently, the caspase 8 and caspase 10 genes, both of which encode cystein protease, were mapped to chromosome 2q33. Since the common AI region on 2q33 includes the caspase 8 and caspase 10 genes, the alterations of these genes were examined further. Absent or reduced expression of caspase 8 and caspase 10 were found in 19 (70%) of 27 and two (7%) of 27 NB cell lines by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. A missense mutation was detected at codon 96, GCT (Alanine) to GTT (Valine), of the caspase 8 gene in one of the NB cell lines lacking caspase 8 expression. Thirteen (68%) of 19 cell lines lacking caspase 8 expression displayed methylation of the CpG island of the caspase 8 gene, whereas only one (13%) of eight cell lines with caspase 8 expression showed caspase 8 methylation (P=0.031). Furthermore, there was a significant association between AI at 2q33 and loss of caspase 8 expression (P=0.026). These results indicated that there was a tumor suppressor gene in the common AI region on chromosome 2q33 involved in the pathogenesis of a subset of NB. It is possible that the caspase 8 gene is one of the candidate tumor suppressor genes for NB and inactivation of this gene plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of NB through mainly its methylation.

Abstract
The expression of the p73 gene and the methylation status was examined in 61 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell lines and lymphocytes from seven healthy individuals. p73 mRNA was not expressed in 19 (31.1%) of 61 ALL cell lines, including 11 (31.4%) of 35 B-precursor ALL cell lines, 2 (16.7%) of 12 B-ALL/Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cell lines (totally 27.7% of B-lineage cell lines), 6 (42.9%) of 14 T-ALL cell lines, and expressed in all of normal lymphocytes, by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Restriction-enzyme related PCR (REP) and methylation-specific PCR (MSP) revealed that the cell lines lacking p73 mRNA expression were hypermethylated. In contrast, normal lymphocytes and most cell lines that expressed detectable p73 mRNA were not hypermethylated with the exception of five cell lines. Furthermore, bisulfite genomic sequencing confirmed the results obtained by REP and MSP. Our results suggest that p73 inactivation may be involved in the pathogenesis of both T- and B-ALLs, and that hypermethylation is the predominant mechanism of inactivation of the p73 gene in ALL.

Abstract
The kinesin superfamily motor protein KIF1B has been shown to transport mitochondria. Here, we describe an isoform of KIF1B, KIF1Bbeta, that is distinct from KIF1B in its cargo binding domain. KIF1B knockout mice die at birth from apnea due to nervous system defects. Death of knockout neurons in culture can be rescued by expression of the beta isoform. The KIF1B heterozygotes have a defect in transporting synaptic vesicle precursors and suffer from progressive muscle weakness similar to human neuropathies. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A was previously mapped to an interval containing KIF1B. We show that CMT2A patients contain a loss-of-function mutation in the motor domain of the KIF1B gene. This is clear indication that defects in axonal transport due to a mutated motor protein can underlie human peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
Neurons in the medial septal/diagonal band complex (MS/DB) in vivo exhibit rhythmic burst-firing activity that is phase-locked with the hippocampal theta rhythm. The aim was to assess the morphology of local axon collaterals of electrophysiologically identified MS/DB neurons using intracellular recording and biocytin injection in vitro. Cells were classified according to previous criteria into slow-firing, fast-spiking, regular-spiking, and burst-firing neurons; previous work has suggested that the slow-firing neurons are cholinergic and that the other types are GABAergic. A novel finding was the existence of two types of burst-firing neuron. Type I burst-firing neurons had significantly longer duration after hyperpolarisation potentials when held at -60 mV, and at -75 mV, type I neurons exhibited a low-threshold spike with more rapid activation and inactivation kinetics than those of type II neurons. We have, also for the first time, described the main features of the local axon collaterals of the five neuron types. All filled neurons possessed a main axon that gave forth 1-12 local primary axon collaterals. All electrophysiological types, except for the type I burst-firing neuron, had a main axon that coursed toward the fornix. Myelination of the main axon was a prominent feature of all but the slow-firing neurons. Branching of the primary axon collaterals of the fast-spiking and type I burst-firing neurons was more extensive than that of the other cell types, with those of the slow-firing neurons exhibiting the least branching. All cell types possessed axon collaterals of the en passant type, and some in addition had twiglike or basketlike axon terminals. All cell types made synapses on distal dendrites; a proportion of the fast-spiking and burst-firing cells in addition had basketlike terminals that made synaptic contacts on proximal dendrites and on somata. Two morphological types of somata were postsynaptic to the basket cells: large (20-30-microm) oval cells with dark cytoplasm, and large oval cells with paler cytoplasm, often with an apical dendrite. The presence of lamellar bodies in the large dark neurons suggests that they may be cholinergic neurons, because previous work has localised these structures in some neurons that stain for choline acetyltransferase. Our work suggests therefore that there may be GABAergic neurons in the MS/DB that form basket synaptic contacts on at least two types of target cell, possibly cholinergic and GABAergic neurons, which means that the basket cells could play a key role in the generation of rhythmic activity in the MS/DB.

Abstract
PROCEDURE To clarify whether the caspase 8 gene is involved in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma (NB), we examined alterations of the caspase 8 gene in 15 NB, seven Ewing sarcoma (ES), and eight rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell lines, using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and RT-PCR single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analyses. RESULTS The caspase 8 gene was not expressed in 11 (73%) of 15 NB cell lines, it was absent in only one of seven ES cell lines, but was present in all eight RMS cell lines examined. No mutations were detected in any cell lines examined. CONCLUSIONS Inactivation of the caspase 8 gene is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of NB, but not ES or RMS.

Abstract
Genetic characterization of a total of 15 Giardia lamblia isolates, 8 from Anhui Province, China (all from purified cysts) and 7 from Seoul, Korea (2 from axenic cultures and 5 from purified cysts), was performed by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of a 295-bp region near the 5' end of the small subunit ribosomal DNA (eukaryotic 16S rDNA). Phylogenetic analyses were subsequently conducted using sequence data obtained in this study, as well as sequences published from other Giardia isolates. The maximum parsimony method revealed that G. lamblia isolates from humans in China and Korea are divided into 2 major lineages, assemblages A and B. All 7 Korean isolates were grouped into assemblage A, whereas 4 Chinese isolates were grouped into assemblage A and 4 into assemblage B. Two Giardia microti isolates and 2 dog-derived Giardia isolates also grouped into assemblage B, whereas Giardia ardeae and Giardia muris were unique.

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers which can detect both the p73alpha and p73beta transcripts was performed on 30 fresh NBs and 22 NB cell lines. Aberrant expression of the p73 gene was found in 4 (25%) of 16 primary tumors found by mass screening and in 10 (71.4%) of 14 primary tumors found clinically. The rates of expression in these two types of tumors were significantly different (p=0.026, Fisher's exact test). The incidence of aberrant expression of the p73 gene was significantly higher in stage IV patients than in stages I, II, III plus IVS patients (p=0.0236, Fisher's exact test). No homozygous deletions or rearrangements of the p73 gene were found in any samples examined. In addition to the polymorphism in exon 2, a silent mutation (codon 336 GCC/GCT) was found in one primary tumor. LOH of the p73 gene was detected in 5 (15%) of 33 primary NBs using PCR-LOH analysis. FISH analysis showed that all 17 NB cell lines used in this study revealed allelic loss of the p73 gene, while most of them expressed the p73 gene. These results suggest that the p73 gene is not monoallelically expressed in NB. We conclude that the p73 gene is less involved in the development but involved in the progression of neuroblastoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 are necessary for the synthesis of prostaglandins. COX-2 is usually absent in normal cells and is upregulated and expressed as a product of the "immediate early" gene during inflammatory processes. In previous studies, the expression of COX-2 has been shown to be induced by proinflammatory cytokines, and suggestions have been made that overexpression of COX-2 suppresses apoptosis and is directly related to tumor growth. We have attempted to determine a relationship between tumor invasion and metastasis of uterine cervical cancer and COX and apoptosis by comparing the protein expression of apoptosis, COX-1, and COX-2 in tumor tissues. METHODS The subjects were 36 patients who were FIGO stage IB uterine cervical cancer patients who underwent surgery at Ajou University Hospital. There were 12 cases with lymph node or parametrial involvement. All tissues were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for COX-1, -2, and TUNEL method for apoptosis detection, and the following results were obtained. RESULTS Tumor tissues confirmed by cytokeratin were separated into tumor surface, tumor stroma, and invasion site portions, in which decreased apoptosis was observed in the invasion sites. COX-2 expression was observed in all tumor tissues and was especially strong in the tumor invasion site. Therefore, it is suggested that COX-2 expression may suppress cell apoptosis at the tumor invasion site. When COX-2 expression was investigated according to the groups with regard to the presence of lymph node or parametrial involvement, there was a statistically significant (Mann-Whitney U test) COX-2 expression difference in the tumor invasion site (P value = 0.040) and the tumor stroma (P value = 0. 028). CONCLUSIONS In surgically treated stage IB cervical cancer patients, COX-2 was significantly expressed when lymph node or parametrial involvement was present. These results suggest that the expression of COX-2 in stage IB cervical cancer may downregulate apoptotic processes and thus enhance tumor invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of acute normovolemic hemo-dilution(ANHD) on hemodynamics and hemobiochemistry during surgery. In 30 patients(ASA Grade I-III) undergoing selective surgery, ANHD was accomplished by exchanging whole blood(8.0 +/- 2.7) ml.kg-1 with an equal volume of gelofusine after induction of anesthesia. The results showed: after ANHD, Hb, Hct and Plc levels respectively decreased by 13.8%(P < 0.05), 17.1%(P < 0.05) and 7.1%(P > 0.05), and yet kept in normal range; MAP, HR, SpO2, ECG maintained the normal level; and no significant changes were observed in the concentration of Na+, K+ and Cl-. ANHD is a safe and effective technique of autotransfusion, and can decrease or avoid the risk of disease transmission.

Abstract
We used a manubrium-sparing sternotomy to perform intracardiac operations on 26 patients between November 1997 and April 1998. We developed this less-invasive surgical technique as a uniform approach in order to reduce skin and skeletal trauma, while maintaining the advantages of the full median sternotomy, such as standard aortic and venous cannulations and use of both antegrade and retrograde cardioplegia. During the same period, 26 other patients with intracardiac lesions underwent operation through a standard full sternotomy. In the manubrium-sparing sternotomy group, there was no intraoperative complication or conversion to full median sternotomy. The average postoperative chest drainage was less in the manubrium-sparing sternotomy group (242.7+/-184.5 mL/24 hours, vs. 499.2+/-416.3 mL/24 hours; P<0.01). Two patients (77%) in the manubrium-sparing sternotomy group had superficial wound disruption, but 4 patients (15.4%) in the full sternotomy group had more severe wound infection, and 1 required myoplasty because of deep wound infection. During the mean follow-up period (12.4+/-1.9 months), no patient in the manubrium-sparing sternotomy group reported significant discomfort or pain due to the sternotomy, but 6 patients (23.1%) in the full sternotomy group complained of significant sternal pain, while 4 (15.4%) experienced shoulder pain, and 1 (3.8%) experienced numbness of the 4th and 5th fingers of both hands. We conclude that the manubrium-sparing sternotomy is a safe and useful approach for most cardiac operations. It is effective in reducing surgical trauma and postoperative wound discomfort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) To elucidate the relationship between intracellular H2O2 production and embryo development in different oxygen culture conditions. METHODS Pronuclear stage embryos were obtained from C57BL/CBA F1 and ICR mice. Measurement of H2O2 level was performed with 2',7'-dichlorodihydroflourescein diacetate and the number of blastomeres was counted after staining with 4',6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole. RESULTS Regardless of strains, H2O2 level reached a peak at the 2-cell stage in 20% O2. But in embryos cultured in 5% O2 it was significantly lower at the 2-cell and 4-cell stages compared to those from 20% O2. The embryos cultured in 20% O2 showed developmental delay or block, but in 5% O2 these phenomena were overcome and the development was significantly increased with an infrequent fragmentation. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the 5% O2 decreases the relative concentration of H2O2 and results in improved embryo development in terms of quantity and quality without regard to type of strains.

Abstract
Chromosomal aberrations and inactivation of tumour suppressor genes are frequent in acute leukaemia. To determine whether the FHIT gene is involved in the development of leukaemia, we examined the FHIT transcript in 65 leukaemia cell lines, 5 fresh acute leukaemia patients at diagnosis and in complete remission, normal peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 14 healthy volunteers and Epstein-Barr (EB) virus transformed 5 B-cell lines (EB-lines), using nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. The transcripts were classified into 4 patterns: pattern I revealed the normal transcripts only, pattern II the altered transcripts in addition to the normal transcripts, pattern III the altered transcripts without the normal transcripts and pattern IV an absence of normal and altered FHIT transcripts. Nineteen cell lines were classified as pattern I, 32 as pattern II, 2 as pattern III and 12 as pattern IV. The frequency of loss of FHIT expression (pattern III or IV) varied in each type of leukaemia cell line; the order ranked from the highest incidence was acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), B-precursor ALL, B-ALL, and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). No genomic rearrangement was found in any samples examined. All of 5 patients showed same pattern II FHIT transcripts at 2 different stages of the disease. All normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and EB-lines were classified as pattern I or II. Our results suggested that patterns III and IV of FHIT transcripts might be associated with the development of a subset of leukaemia, while pattern II which has so far been reported as an aberrant transcript in varieties of malignant tumours might not be associated with leukaemogenesis.

Abstract
Inoculating of human fecal cysts to suckling Mongolian gerbils, two Giardia lamblia isolates, K1 and K2, were established as axenic cultures. Using this in vitro culture, both isolates were characterized as a "medium-rate grower" upon its growth pattern. These two Giardia isolates were grouped by using two genetic analysis. With genetic analysis of SSU-rDNA sequences, both K1 and K2 were found as members of Hopkins' group 1, despite some nucleotide differences noticed in K2 (5 differences/292 bases). The other genetic study used PCR-RFLP of the tim (triose phosphate isomerase) gene. Both of K1 and K2 were found to belong to Nash's group 2. Our results suggest that Nash's group 2 can not be a separate group, but a part of Hopkins' group 1.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a known inducer of numerous pro-inflammatory events including the production of platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF released in response to LPS is a major contributor to the pathological events associated with endotoxemia. The present study demonstrates that dexmethasone (DEX) inhibited the LPS-induced early plasma PAF raise in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In addition, DEX prevented the subsequent PAF-mediated pathological phenomena such as anaphylactic shock-like symptoms, symptoms of disseminated intravascular coagulation and hemorrhage in renal medullae. DEX or the PAF antagonist BN 50739 significantly inhibited LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation. The inhibition of NF-kappaB activation by DEX was overcome by the injection of exogenous PAF. Administration of PAF or LPS resulted in a rapid loss of IkappaBalpha protein. The LPS-induced degradation of IkappaBalpha was prevented by pretreatment with BN 50739, suggesting that PAF is a critical intermediate in the LPS-triggered degradation of IkappaBalpha protein. DEX prevented the LPS-induced IkappaBalpha degradation, which was also reversed by exogenous PAF. Administration of DEX or BN 50739 caused an increase in cytoplasmic IkappaBalpha level. Our results indicate that DEX inhibits IkappaBalpha degradation and subsequent NF-kappaB activation through blocking the initial release of PAF.

Abstract
We examined mRNA expression and internal tandem duplication of the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene in haematological malignancies by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and genomic PCR followed by sequencing. By RT-PCR, expression of FLT3 was detected in 45/74 (61%) leukaemia cell lines and the frequency of expression of FLT3 was significantly higher in undifferentiated type (B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; ALL) than in differentiated type cell lines (B-ALL) (P = 0.0076). Using the genomic PCR method, 194 fresh samples including 87 acute myeloid leukaemias, 60 ALLs, 32 myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) and 15 juvenile chronic myelogenous leukaemias (JCMLs) were examined. Tandem duplication was found in 12 (13.8%) AMLs and two (3.3%) ALLs. Sequence analyses of the 14 samples with the duplication revealed that eight showed a simple tandem duplication and six a tandem duplication with insertion. Most of these tandem duplications occurred within exon 11, and two duplications occurred from exon 11 to intron 11 and exon 12. No tandem duplications of FLT3 gene were detected in MDS or JCML. The frequency of tandem duplication of FLT3 gene in childhood AML was lower than that in adult AML so far reported. All of the 12 AML patients with the duplication died within 47 months after diagnosis, whereas two ALL patients with the duplication have survived 44 and 72 months, respectively. These two ALL patients expressed both lymphoid and myeloid antigens and were considered to have biphenotypic leukaemia. These results suggest that tandem duplication is involved in ALL in addition to AML, but not in childhood MDS or JCML, and that childhood AML patients with the tandem duplication have a poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The importance of determining N-myc oncoprotein rather than genomic N-myc amplification has been emphasized in neuroblastoma, especially in an international project to register biological risk factors in all neuroblastomas. A method to raise a specific polyclonal antibody against the N-myc oncoprotein in large quantities was sought using the synthetic antigen peptide and the multiple antigen peptide (MAP) method. METHODS Two sets of peptides, HGRGPPTAGSTAQSPG and GVAPPRPGGRQTSGGDH, conserved in the N-myc oncoprotein were synthesized. The hemocyanin-conjugated peptides and the lysine core-conjugated (multiple antigen peptide method) peptides were injected into rabbits with adjuvant. IgG fractions precipitated from the sera were purified on an affinity column coupled with these peptides, and the potency and specificity of the purified IgGs were examined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry in small cell lung cancer cell lines with known positivity-negativity of amplification and expression of N-myc, c-myc, and L-myc. RESULTS Peptides conjugated to the lysine core raised more potent antibodies than those conjugated to hemocyanin. Purified IgG against GVAPPRPGGRQTSGGDH reacted positively with an N-myc-amplified lung cancer cell line, but not with N-myc-unamplified and c-myc/L-myc-amplified cell lines on either immunoblotting or immunostaining. This IgG strongly stained the nuclei of cells in a series of surgical specimens and cell lines of neuroblastoma with N-myc amplification. CONCLUSION A polyclonal antibody specific for a synthetic peptide from the N-myc oncoprotein was thus obtained and will find wide international use.

Abstract
The importance of determining the N-Myc protein has been emphasized in neuroblastoma. We attempted to obtain a water-soluble N-Myc protein, and an antibody highly specific for the N-Myc protein. A plasmid was constructed from partial exons 2 and 3 of the N-myc gene, and expressed in Escherichia coli by isopropyl-beta,-D-thiogalactopyranoside. Newly obtained N-Myc (rN-Myc) was water-soluble with a M.W. of 38 kDa. An N-Myc-specific peptide, GVAPPRPGG RQTSGGDH, was used to raise an antibody. Specificity of the obtained antibody was confirmed and we found the rN-Myc protein reacts positively with the anti-N-Myc IgG raised here. The rN-Myc protein and the anti-N-Myc IgG obtained are expected to be used in an ELISA for N-Myc.

Abstract
The crystal structure of 2-pyridone has been redetermined from high-resolution X-ray data collected at 123 K. The molecule is in the lactam form. Bond lengths (corrected for rigid-body libration) and angles have been determined with s.u.'s of 0.001 A and 0.1 degree, respectively. The hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers which occur in the vapor and in solution are absent in the crystal where molecules are linked by N-H...O hydrogen bonds to form puckered chains. There also appears to be a weaker C-H...O interaction (H...O, 2.57 A) and weak C-H...pi or van der Waals interactions occurring on both sides of the pyridone ring. Following a refinement of the structure assuming Stewart's rigid pseudo-atom model, the electronic charge density distribution in the crystal and its Laplacian have been calculated for atoms at rest. The total electrostatic potential has been mapped for an isolated molecule and the molecular dipole moment has been determined [8.8 (19) D; 1D approximately = 3.33564 x 10(-30) C m]. Critical points in the electron density have been located for the bonds within the molecule and for the molecular interactions cited above. For the C-H...pi interactions, only the spherical components of the valence density for the pyridone ring atoms contribute effectively at the critical points. Hence, these may be better described as van der Waals interactions.

Abstract
Calretinin and calbindin D28K were localized in the superficial layers of rabbit superior colliculus (SC). Calretinin and calbindin D28K-immunoreactive (-IR) neurons were concentrated in the upper superficial gray layer. Calretinin-IR fibers were found in the optic layer. The majority of calretinin-IR cells were small- to medium-sized vertical fusiform neurons and neurons with round or stellate-shaped somas with small varicose dendrites. The morphology of calbindin D28 K-IR neurons was different from that of calretinin neurons. Anti-calbindin D28K-IR neurons usually had fusiform cell bodies and a thick primary dendrite with small branches forming a dendritic bouquet. Two-color immunofluorescence revealed that no cells expressed both proteins. Following unilateral enucleation a marked reduction of calretinin-IR fibers in the contralateral side to the enucleation was found. Enucleation appeared to have no effect on the cell bodies labeled with either protein. The results suggest the anti-calretinin immunoreactivity in the superficial layer of rabbit SC contrasts starkly with that of other animals.

Abstract
A homologous series of both C3-unsubstituted and C3-methyl substituted oxetan-2-ones (beta-lactones) was investigated as potential inhibitors of yeast 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) synthase. Several reported methods for racemic beta-lactone synthesis were studied for preparation of the target series. In addition, a novel aluminum-based Lewis acid obtained by combination of Et2AlCl with (1R,2R)-2-[(diphenyl)hydroxymethyl] cyclohexan-1-ol was studied for the asymmetric [2 + 2] cycloaddition of aldehydes and trimethylsilylketene. This Lewis acid exhibited good reactivity but variable enantioselectivity (22-85% ee). In in vitro assays using both native and recombinant HMG-CoA synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, oxetan-2-ones mono-substituted at C4 with linear alkyl chains gave IC50s that decreased monotonically with chain length up to 10 carbons and then rose rapidly for longer chains. The trans isomers of 3-methyl-4-alkyl-oxetan-2-ones showed a similar trend but had 1.3- to 5.6-fold lower IC50s. The results imply a substantial hydrophobic pocket in this enzyme that interacts with both C-3 and C-4 substituents of oxetan-2-one inhibitors.

Abstract
In human in-vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer, the in-vitro culture environment differs from in-vivo conditions in that the oxygen concentration is higher, and in such conditions the mouse embryos show a higher concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in simple culture media. ROS are believed to cause damage to cell membranes and DNA fragmentation in somatic cells. This study was conducted to ascertain the level of H2O2 concentration within embryos and the morphological features of cell damage induced by H2O2. A total of 62 human oocytes and embryos (31 fragmented, 15 non-fragmented embryos, 16 unfertilized oocytes) was obtained from the IVF-embryo transfer programme. The relative intensity of H2O2 concentrations within embryos was measured using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate by Quanti cell 500 fluorescence imaging and DNA fragmentation was observed with transmission electron microscopy and an in-situ apoptosis detection kit. The H2O2 concentrations were significantly higher in fragmented embryos (72.21 +/- 9.62, mean +/- SEM) compared to non-fragmented embryos (31.30 +/- 3.50, P < 0.05) and unfertilized oocytes (30.75 +/- 2.67, P < 0.05). Apoptosis was observed only in fragmented embryos, and was absent in non-fragmented embryos. Electron microscopic findings confirmed apoptotic bodies and cytoplasmic condensation in the fragmented blastomeres. We conclude that there is a direct relationship between increased H2O2 concentration and apoptosis, and that further studies should be undertaken to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency causes Pompe disease, a lethal lysosomal glycogen storage disease for which no effective treatment currently exists. We investigated the endocytic process in deficient cells of human recombinant GAA produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells, and the potential of GAA-deficient Japanese acid maltase-deficient quail as a model for evaluating the enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease. After 24-h incubation with a single dose of recombinant enzyme, intracellular GAA and glycogen levels in deficient human fibroblasts were normalized, and this correction lasted for 7 d. The 110-kD precursor recombinant enzyme was processed to the 76-kD mature form within 24 h after uptake. Intracellular GAA levels in deficient quail fibroblasts and myoblasts were similarly corrected to their average normal levels within 24 h. Differences existed in the efficiency of endocytosis among subfractions of the enzyme, and among different cell types. Fractions with a larger proportion of precursor GAA were endocytosed more efficiently. Quail fibroblasts required a higher dose, 4200 nmol.h-1.mL-1 to normalize intracellular GAA levels than human fibroblasts, 1290 nmol.h-1.mL-1, whereas primary quail myoblasts required 2800 nmol.h-1.mL-1. In all three cell lines, the endocytosed enzyme localized to the lysosomes on immunofluorescence staining, and the endocytosis was inhibited by mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) added to the culture medium. Despite structural differences in Man-6-P receptors between birds and mammals, these studies illustrate that Man-6-P receptor mediated endocytosis is present in quail muscle cells, and demonstrate the potential of acid maltase-deficient quail to test receptor mediated enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease.
